If we play to the same standard as v Peterborough, then we have a chance. Can't be a repeat of Wimbledon, even the text commentary statistician got bored!

If we play the ball to feet and be a little more ruthless around the box, we'll win.

Post by: RoversAlias on September 09, 2017, 02:11:16 pm
I expect that will be it, so the big question is, will Whiteman perform his defensive duties, and how much of an impact can Toffolo have?

I don't mind the line-up, like Kongolo getting a start and that Garratt hasn't lost his place after a good display last week, plus we have "game changers" in May and Copps on the bench. Only thing is I wish Houghton was fit enough to start as we just look so much more assured with him sitting in to the midfield.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on September 09, 2017, 02:45:50 pm
The line up's ok, the players have just got to go out there and perform. There's ample back up on the bench if they don't.

I really hope they give us a performance today and show we're a force to be reckoned with.
Title: Re: Northampton v TLO Doncaster
Post by: Alan Southstand on September 09, 2017, 02:48:46 pm
I wonder what Alfie's not done to warrant being benched? After all, he has most goals so far and bundles of energy. The rest I agree with, except Blair can count himself lucky, based on his last few displays.

Not connecting as a team. Northampton obviously have new manager impetus and are more eager but they have little quality. Rovers have a huge gap between midfield and the forwards. We miss Copps.

Toffolo hasn't shown much.

We seem to be relaying on hoofing it up to JM as there are no runners in the channels at all.

Rowe seems off it. Mandy pretty anonymous.

We just seem slack overall. Dave is giving it a go but he's one player. Midfield is largely awol.

We have enough quality to win this but harsh words needed.

Every game will be hard in this league. We have Butler, Rowe Coppinger, Blair and Marquis who have played in this league before. We have to get the midfield right until that happens we will compete but not win many game. Now last season we scored most goals when Marquis and Williams played together. Tuesday night let's give them a try. Midfield of Houghton, Whiteman, Rowe and Coppinger. Back four of Mason, Wright, Butler, Garrett or Toffolo.
